Editing the Wiki
***Wiki Administration is currently standardizing Wiki pages and patrolling all edits by FamilySearch staff and community members. Due to the lack of necessary staff and editors' non-compliance to Wiki standards, the Wiki Executive Council has suspended granting editing rights to community members and current FamilySearch staff at this time. For adding content about an affiliate library on a Wiki page, please send all new content and corrections to the Submit Content or Report a Problem form. ***
